Previous life: where I wanted to be...career woman, happily married, perfectionist, control freak, tidy house, business running like a tight ship. First child arrives, fulltime working mom, can handle it all.
Current life: where I want to be...stay at home mom to a pre-teen girl and girl/boy twin preschoolers, ditched the career (had the twins at 40), perfectionism took a hike, life out of control, untidy house and trying to keep household afloat! So I'm just hanging in there!!!

lazy in the summer heat

It's been hot all right, tending to stay inside to be cool or going outside to splash in the pool with friends over or at other people's places and their pool. It's been humid too as attested by a mass of unruly frizzy hair. Blame it on the weather, but I've been lazy, not doing much of anything and my mind is sluggish too. The renos are done and we are down to the details and I've run out of steam. Everything is at a standstill.

Check out my weatherpixie...at 31C she wears an orange polkadot bikini. As if. Those days are long gone. Went for my physical last week and just as I feared, put on 10 pounds since last year. Damn. Pissed off with myself. She mentioned something about my thyroid gland and I'm like, right, it's more like too much fun sipping fancy drinks and eating fun foods and too much sitting on my ass with no real form of exercise. Am waiting for a motivational lightning strike to get me off this lazy mode and back in gear. All right, lets aim for September, kids back in school, all 3 FULL TIME, should definitely have more time for myself. So that gives me one more month of indulging :) yep, great attitude.

Found a quick quiz over at kate5kiwis, something easy to do for a lazy bone and it confirmed my state of mind:

You Should Spend Your Summer at the Beach

You're a free spirit who is always thinking of new ways to have fun.

And you don't just love summer... you live for it.

So, you really should blow off your responsibilities and head to the beach!
